A long but worrying read. The EU would happily subordinate the UK and use its military expertise as it looks to legally centralise 'ever more power' from 'member states' and independent sovereign nations just like the UK.
Some of our ministers are less than useless in believing the UK can cherry pick its way with such an alliance, and haven't learnt much from Brussels' dark arts in centralising 'ever more power'. Brussels will use the devil in the detail to subordinate members of the alliance.
Keep the bastards at arms length.

In Robert Bolt’s “A Man for All Seasons,” Thomas More has this famous exchange with his hot-head son-in-law. It’s a warning about the dangers of broad brush (if emotionally satisfying) generalisations, a reminder of the power that lies in
command of the details and it cuts both ways. In the EU, mastery of detail has always been the means to capture and subordinate those less obsessive or more light-hearted: il n’y a que texte is the Commission’s battle-cry, sotto voce, of
course. The tactic is being used actively and with determination against the UK in relation to defence and security, today. That makes the EU a real and present danger to us, especially in time of war.
Right now, British Ministers who, it appears, are not personally in command of the detail are stating that it is both possible and risk-free to join aspects of the EU Defence Union emerging rapidly from something called PESCO (Permanent
Structured Cooperation). Perhaps they say this because, reasonably enough but sadly unwisely in toxic times, they trust civil servants to be across the detail; and they trust the advice which civil servants whose confirmation bias is
overwhelmingly ‘rejoiner’, give them. But PESCO is by no means risk-free to the UK, as I will show.
PESCO is a set of binding commitments made by participating member states which increase joint centralised EU-led political military decision making in the EU. It is a means of creating military unification between member states
subordinating the planning, procurement, strategic decision-making, and operational deployment to central organs, which are not under sovereign control.
